Jake and Logan Paul, two brothers, are some of the most recognizable faces in combat sports.
The two became household names by posting videos on Vine and YouTube before turning to their new ventures, where they have enjoyed great success.
However, not every fighter is a fan of their work. UFC legend Colby Covington, speaking to Outkick the Coverage, blasted them as “little Disney stars” who aren’t real fighters.
“They’re all the rage — not for the right reasons. They’re not real fighters. They can’t win real fights against tough fighters. They’re little circus sideshows,” said. “They’re fighting in these little unsanctioned fights and fighting against guys that aren’t relevant, guys that are 50 years old, guys that are 50 pounds bigger than them. Why aren’t they fighting against guys in their own weight class?”
Covington says he would welcome a fight with either brother if UFC sanctioned the fight, which he doesn’t think is likely.
“Of course I’d fight them. It’d be an easy fight. They’re little Disney stars. I’d break them in half,” Covington said. “If I dropped MAGA bombs on them for one punch, they’d run away crying to their mom. They’d be looking for a safe space.
“But I’m in the UFC. I’m a company man. I love the UFC, so I only want to fight the biggest and best fights the UFC has to offer. I don’t want to fight these little Disney ‘Lizzy McGuire’ stars.”
